Formatting requirements

• Camera-ready artwork in PNG or PDF is preferred.

• Resolution should be 300 dpi or greater.

• Convert images to CMYK.

Design notes

• Newspapers are printed with a CMYK color process. Simple colors using only one or two inks work best.

• White text on a dark background may not print clearly and may cause the background color to bleed through the newsprint or smudge the facing page.

Find more information about designing for newsprint here.

• Send questions, ad artwork and contracts to editor@hazelwoodinitiative.org.
